Hello, Few weeks back, the postman delivered 3 parcels, among which there was two Marui rare cars: a Ninja, and a Shogun (from two different origins). It is quite exceptional get a Shogun, but to get a Shogun and a Ninja the same day is probably even more nowadays... Specially considering that there...

The last piece of the puzzle arrived this week. Got a chance to rough cut the body tonight, and have it sitting nicely. I had to shorten/re-solder the motor wires, quite tight in this area. Got the rear tower done last week too, and took it for a little spin. With Just a few small adjustments on the...

I've been out of the hobby for atleast a decade. Some old school guys might remember me. I helped start something you all use..... lol. Always been into Clodbusters mainly. Figured it was a good time to try getting my old RC's going. Missed the hobby!

What if in 1987 Yokomo had given the old dog another chance ?
Teaser pictures ....

They're both from a long time ago ......in a childhood far far away

I just received this GT in the mail. It has nitro grime all over it and 20 year old duct tape, but I can tell its in good shape underneath. Ill post pics of the restoration as I go. I'll disassemble it, right down to each screw, clean each part and re build. The motor is a Force .12, it has "fa...

After a lot of elbow grease, the chassis is done.

Waiting on a body and some decals to come in.

now I need to decide on a paint scheme

Hey all, it's been a couple of years since I was active on this forum and I started poking around on the AE website, Castle, Fly Sky among others. Have all my stuff still sitting in boxes, haven't used any of it for a couple years as well. Just got tired of always trying to fix the cars and make the...

The parts are lollin in , looks good , I highly recommend clear coating the parts from Shapeways with a few coats , they just pick up dirt and are hard to clean , the clear coating stops it picking up dirt and can be easily cleaned .

Wow cant believe how long this has been :| but small update have cut the battery plates and the 10L body posts for the battery postie thingies. Ignore the shocks they are just temporary . Also made another rear tower as the camber link was abit off. Cut a body so i think the forecast is for rain thi...

Decals came in from MCI!

That's a great looking build, what you really need is to build two so you can run one and keep on pristine :D Gonna be hard to resist the temptation to drive it.. When i finished the 89 rc10 that i put pictures of in the gallery i wished i was back there on a slippery track drifting around on those...

paint done

Well, I finally painted the body. I fudging HATE PAINTING. I spent a lot of time on it. I did a somewhat box art design, and incorporated a bunch of chrome. However, the chrome isn't even visible next to the silver. It turned out ok, but I should have let a professional do it. My lightbox doesn't do...

Body looks worth the effort to me , spot on job
